Knausgaard is intense and utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties . . . He wants us to inhabit the ordinariness of life, which is sometimes visionary, sometimes banal, and sometimes momentous, but all of it perforce ordinary because it happens in the course of a life, and happens, in different forms, to everyone . . . There is something ceaselessly compelling about Knausgaard's book.” —\u003ci\u003eJames Wood, The New Yorker (selected as one of the Books of the Year)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A fantastic novel . . .
